According to Oxford University Press "goblin-mode" is the word of the year, beating out "metaverse" and "#IStandWith." They define this word as "unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy," therefore relating it to Belphegor, the Demon of Sloth. Goblinmode also relates to being prideful that one has no pride or self-respect. Belphegor is usually depicted as a goblin-looking man with horns sitting on a toilet, which is why his followers provide excrement and urine as an offering. The metaverse and #IStandWith are also extensions of this goblin, because the metaverse allows you to be anyone and obtain anything without hard work, while the hashtag is a virtuous gesture that you care so much while no real action is required to achieve anything of substance. In other words, the seven deadly sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, glutton, wrath, and sloth, or Acedia, summarize goblinmode. Furthermore, Belphegor, or Ba'al Pe'or, means 'Lord of the Opening', a reference to an open mouth ready to consume, an open pit ready to devour, or the opening of the bowels of hell.
